The Update- June 23rd

from The Update with Brandon Julien · host Brandon Julien

This edition of The Update Journal takes a hard left turn into nostalgia, broadcast law, and whatever Gen Z found in the back of the fashion closet with a “DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 2006” sticker on it.First, Code Lyoko might be coming back, which means my childhood just sat up in bed like, “Wait… are we doing this again?” A potential Season 5 sounds exciting, terrifying, and emotionally classified as a gray area, because yes, I loved the show — but some memories are delicate museum artifacts. You don’t just reboot them without asking the people who were emotionally raised by cartoon kids fighting evil inside a supercomputer.Then, in A Closer Look, we get into The FCC vs. WABC, where The View, equal time rules, and license renewal anxiety all walk into the same room and immediately ask for legal counsel. This is the kind of media story where one bad segment can turn into a paperwork tornado, and suddenly everybody is reading FCC guidelines like they’re trying to defuse a bomb with a commercial break coming up.And today’s honorable mention: Gen Z has revived a sexy fashion trend that was previously declared extinct, because apparently no trend ever truly dies. It just waits in a drawer, gains confidence, and comes back when someone under 25 says, “Actually, this is a vibe.” Somewhere, a millennial is staring at their old photos in horror, whispering, “We buried this for a reason.”In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, Clive Davis, the record company lawyer who became one of the music industry’s most powerful figures, launching or resurrecting the careers of such superstars as Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana and Alicia Keys, has died, his family confirmed. He was 94.The Supreme Court reinstated a murder conviction in the 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz.And in Minnesota, a federal judge has blocked an attempt by the Trump administration to subpoena Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and other state officials, accusing the Justice Department of using its investigatory powers to retaliate against state officials for not cooperating with federal efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
